Fishes vs. Ducks (:

In chapter 14 Holden once again asks the Taxicab driver about where the ducks go in the winter, and the driver avoids that question and starts talking about how the fish stay. i think there is a relation between these because they both reflect holden's life, because the fish are stuck but the ducks are free. right now holden is stuck between alot of things but he wants to be like the ducks and be free.

This was really cheesy (: haha.

So, in chapter 11 (i think) we got to feel alot about how Holden really feels about Jane, and even though he never really told her how he felt about her, he really expressed it. It made me wander the whole time i was reading if Jane could tell he liked her, and if she did then why she never told him anything about she felt! I also wandered if when she was with Stradlater if she thought about Holden and compared then, because to her Holden is ALOTT better of a guy. He's someone who actually cares if she's okay or not.

I have come to the conclusion that Holden is very insecure, and that's pretty obvious. I think that because of the way he lies to people about dumb things and doesn't show anyone his real self, he always lies to people so that they don't know the real him. I think he does this because he knows that he has problems that if people found out about him he'd be embarrassed and i understand that, because at some time everyone feels like that..Holden just so happens to feel like that all the time.

Childhood vs. Adulthood.

I think that Holden is very childish, mainly because he doesn't know what decisions he needs to make to be more grown up, and also because he always lies, and doesn't express his feelings very well. In this reading Holden tries to act more "Adultish" then he really is when he tries to get with the older woman, and when he tries to drink. Also Holden isn't "man" enough to just fess up to his parents that he failed out of school.
In my life i think that i am a mix between both of them, mainly because i have a lot of responsibilities and my mom pressures me to make sure that i make the right decisions, and most of the time i do. I want these responsibilities because it will make me more independent and will give me more freedoms.
examples of how i am an "adult" i got a job the day after i got my license..then i started paying my phone bill.
examples of how i am a "child" i got fired (seasonal) from my job, so now my mom has to pay it ):

After reading chapter eight, Holden completely confuses me. I don't understand why Holden wouldn't just tell the lady that he was going home because he was kicked out of pency, and that he wasn't really getting surgery for a brain tumor! i also don't get why if he always talks about being so loney why he turned down seeing both Ernest, and Sally.

So far in the Catcher In The Rye I think that Holden is experiencing how his life is changing from his childhood going on to adulthood, and i don't think that he likes it. For the small amount of time that Holden has had responsibilties he's already messing some of the stuff off, like failing out of school, and getting in a fight with Stradlater. While he grows up he starts to feel guilt of how he's not passing anything and is getting kicked out of Pency. I can relate to him in this because now that i'm growing up i feel guilty alot more when i ask my parents for money, but i haven't done anything to earn it. (:
